As we continue celebrating 150 years and beyond, celebrations continue……………..We want to make every Stanislite a “Man for Others” that is our endeavour. We would also want all other schools in Bandra to join us and create a “Man for Others”. A new world that is “others” centered and selfless.
On Friday, 22nd November 2013 we were proud to launch the Special Postal Cover. This cover has been specially designed with the attractive, heritage structure of St. Stanislaus School and pictorial postmarks; a desirable collector’s item and a novel gift. An item worth possessing and adding to your philatelic collection. Limited covers for sale priced at `150/-each.
The audience comprised of the Staff members, students, Alumni, Well wishers and parents. The Chief Guest at this event was Fr. Francis de Melo, Director, Xavier’s Institute of Engineering & St. Xavier’s Technical Institute, Mahim, ex- Provincial of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus), Bombay Province and Post Master General of Mumbai Mr. H. C. Agrawal handling mail and postal operations in Mumbai. He also held the post of Director, Mumbai GPO, which is the country’s largest post office.
Fr. Francis in his speech highlighted the importance of dedication and perseverance required in all fields in order to achieve excellence. He mentioned that greatness can be achieved only through concentrated efforts. Marcellus Gomes, Leo Pinto stalwarts in their field of sport are shining examples of these virtues.
